John Lewis bombing

The John Lewis bombing occurred at 11:00 AM on 17 December 1992 when the Provisional IRA executed three bombings in the West End of London, England, targeting the John Lewis department store on Oxford Street. A bomb hidden in a trash can in the men's bathroom on the third floor exploded, and a second bomb exploded 15 minutes later in Cavendish Square as shoppers were being evacuated. Four people were injured in this attack, and three more were injured when a third and smaller device exploded in another Cavendish Square trash can.
